The ST. Paul Pioneer Press in calling
the attention Of congress to the urgent
necessity of more judges in Dakota SUBJ
mits a great deal of information on this
subject obtained through recent inter
views with the judges comprising the
Dakota supreme bench, from which We
append below an outline of the situation
in this judicial district as reported by
Judge Thomas:
"The court in Lawrence county has
over four hundred cases on its docket;
no contested case can be reached for
trial within year after being al issue.
The court is now engaged in the trial OF
causes at issue since the summer of 1882,
and which are now first being reached
for trial. The court sits every day in
the year when the Judge is not absent
holding court in the other counties, in
attendance upon the supreme court, etc.
The condition Of the docket in this
county is practical denial of justice to
ltigants. Two terms per year are fixed
by law in Pennington and Custer coun-
! ties, where the business is rapidly in
creasing and will each succeeding year
require more Of the time Of the Judge.
No terms of court have AZ yet been held
in either Fall River or Butte counties,
but demand Is now being made in each
Of them for the holding of terms. An
additional judge should be appointed
for this district to hold the terms in
Pennington, Custer, Fall River and
Butte. and the criminal terms in Law
renee county, leaving the present judge
to hold the civil terms for Lawrence
county and the terms Of the United
States court for the district. which will
require his time for every working day
of the year. The litigation in this coun
ty is largely in reference to mineral
lands, Of great Importance and com.
plicated, and the prosperity and pro-
gress Of the county is retarded by the
delay in adiudicating disputed questions

THE FINNY TRIBE.
Instruc tiOns for the Protection
and Propagation of Fish.

General instructions for the con.
struction OF the Gile Fishway, adopted
by the California State Board of Fish
Commissioners
Material-Fishways must be con-
structed of good, sound, substantial
lumber, not less than three (3) inches
and from that to eight (S) inches in
thickness, according to force and
weight of water, height of dam and
liability to injury to fishway from ice,
logs, etc.
Supports, if of timber, should be Of
good oak or heavy pine, or if of ma
sonry, well built rests, so placed as to
insure their permanent character.
Dimensions-In no case must fish
ways be less than five feet and from
that to ten feet in width, as the needs
of each particular dam may demand.
The fishway must be four feet in
length for each foot in height of dam,
a to y and in no case less than one
% foot in depth on inside, and from
that to eighteen 1S) inches, as case
may demand. Dams to be measured
from the natural foundation line (bed
of creek or stream) to the top of dam
at it's average height.
Construction-The bottom planks
must be laid close together so as to
prevent water from running through.
The sides must be securely bolted to
the bottom. The arms or cross pieces,
shown on plan, must be same depth
as sides, securely fastened to bottom
and sides with bolts and cleats as
shown by the drawings. The arms or
flanges must be placed on edge, as
shown by drawing, extending two
thirds of the way across the fishway.
at an angle of fifteen degrees, altern-
nately on each side and about three
feet apart.
The head of fishway must be let in
to the top of the dam so that upper
edge shall be flush with top of dam
and securely fastened. The foot of
tishway must be securely anchored in
stream, either securely bolted to pill
ing or by bolts set in the rock low
enough to reach running water at all
times. When situation requires it the
fishway can be made with curve or
with angles in one or more sections,
care being used that the free passage
of fish be not obstructed.
Location.-The fishway must be
placed in dams so as to insure con-
tinuous flow of water through it at
such a point as would indicate the
most natural channel for the passage
of fish.
Complete fshways must be of a
good and substantial character, and
suitable to the purpose for which it is
built and to conform to the law, viz
"to secure a free and unobstructed
passage for fish,
AS fishways must be maintained as
well as built, it is well that care be
used in first construction, as cost ol
maintenance will be greatly lessened

Driving Away Mosquitoes.


Various substances are used to drive
mosquitoes away. In some parts peo-
pie anoint their bodies with fish oil as
protection against them. The Chi
nesc arc said to be very clever in the
use OF such protective unguents. In
India, mosquitoes are smoked out OF
room by burning chips Of wood and
incense. A few sprigs Of wormwood
placed about the pillow sometimes pro-
tect tho sleeper from their attack. A
correspondent asserts that II u piece OF
raw meat is hung over tho sleeper's
head the mosquitoes will fasten greedily
on to it, leaving tho human being in
peace. In the morning scores Of the
g0rgod creatures can be destroyed by
dipping tho meat into bowl Of boiling
water. Dark, damp or ill-vcntilated
rooms are the favorito haunts Of mos.
quitoes; which seldom molest you when
you sleep in tho veranda or on the
house roof; or il you have the punkha
going all night over you, with the doors
and windows wide open. you sve pretty
safe. .-LvndoH Graphic.

RuskIN AT WORK.
A Few Charming Lines from the Pen OF the
Now Demented Critic.

XNOW Deuhbuteu CrlttCs
When had to direct road-making in
Oxford, safe myself, with an IRON
masked stonc-breaker, on his heap, to
break stones beside the London road,
just under Ifiley Hill, till l knew how
to advise my too impetuous pupils to
effect their purposes in that matter, in
stead of breaking the heads of their
hammers off (a serious item in our
daily expenses.) l learned from an
Irish street crossing-sweeper what he
could teach me of sweeping; but found
myself in that matter nearly his match,
from my boy-gardening; and again and
again swept bits of st. Giles foot
pavements. showing my corps of sub
ordinates how to finish into depths of
gutter. / worked with carpenter
until I could take an even shaving six
feet long off board; and painted
enough with properly and delight
fully soppy green paint to feel the
masters superiority in the use of "
blunt brush. But, among all these
and other such studentships, the
reader will be surprised, l think, to
hear, seriously, that the instrument
l finally decided to be the most diff
cult of management was the trowel.
For accumulated months of my boys
life l watched bricklaying and paving;
but, when took the rowcl into my
own hand, abandoned ut once all hope
Of attaining the least real skill with it,
unless l gave up all thoughts of any
future literary or political career. But
the quite happiest bit of manual work
lever did was for my mother in the
old inn at SiXt, where she alleged the
stone staircase to have become un-
pleasantly dirty since last year. No
body in the inn appeared to think it
possible to wash it. l brought the
necessary buckets of water from the
yard myself, poured them into beauti-
full image of Versailles water-works
down tho fifteen or twenty steps of the
great staircase, and, with the strong
est broom could find, cleaned every
step into its corners. 1t was quite
lovely work to dash the water and drive
the mud from each, with accommodating
splash, down to the next one. John

M t3iri's Naughty Frenk.


tliri's Naughty Freak.
This was the first OF IL: Four-year-
old Dewey, in his long white night
gown. was kneeling by mammals knee,
saying his prayers, and when to 'Jesus,
tender Shepherd, lead me-" he added:
''God bless papa and mamma and little
sister," Lizzie, who was sitting upon
mammals lap, like any other two-year
old baby, piped up, to every ones sur.
prise:
"Not little sister; little sister take
care hers self"
This Lizzie repeated every evening,
and she grew so naughty and rebellious
over it that grandma said:
ut is only a baby's freak, and 1t will
be soon forgotten If we don't take any
notice of It,"
So every night for some time Dewey
waited until his little sisters blue eyes
were fast asleep before his prayer was
uttered.
One morning. after several weeks had
slipped by in this way, the two children
were ut play in the grain-room at the
barn.
Don't leave little sister. Dewey"
and Don't climb, baby" said mamma,
as she left them and ran across the
garden to neighbor's.
Lizzie, who was Us fond of climbing
as if she had been made with claws,
like kitten, instead OF with plump,
dimpled fingers and toes, paid no heed
to her mammals words, but scrambling
upon rickety chair, she soon gained
the top Of high bench, and from there
climbed upon hogshead, over the
open top of which was thrown large
piece of sacking, perhaps to keep the
chickens out of it.
Instead of the firm foundation she ex-
pectcd to find, there was nothing to
hold her, and down she went nearly to
the bottom upon a few bushels OF
green oats. But she was not hurt, and
not very badly frightened.
"Oh! oh! Lizzicr' shrieked Dewey.
"Are you dead?- are you dead, LizzieP''
"No," came the smothered answer;
"Tm awful s'prised."
Pretty soon she called again: care

just then the butcher appeared ir
his white frock, and seeing Dewey:
grief, he inquired what the matter was
Then, as he reached down his long
arms and lifted Lizzie by her approached
hands, she sobbed for the first time:

down for me. I'll let Dewey ask yot
to take care of ME every time now.'
And she did. So that was the last o1
it.-Harper's Young People.
